The Fire of Life

chapter ten
Brooklyn turns..... what?!

About and hour after I stopped denying the fact that I was the power of life Kodi entered my room. "What do you want?" I asked. "I just wanted to ask if you wanted to tell Brooklyn everything about," she looked around then whispered. "The Fire of life." "Everything we know about it?" "Yes." Finally, I thought.
"Brooklyn, I need to talk to you," I called. "Brooklyn?" Why wasn't Brooklyn answering when I called? I raced down the stairs and ran into the kitchen where mom was just finishing the dishes and was headed for her room. "Mom," I said urgently. "What is it Aphrodite?"
"Have you seen Brooklyn at all after breakfast?" I asked quickly. "No, Aphrodite, the last I saw her she was going to her room. Why?" "I THINK SHE'S MISSING!!!!!" I yelled over my shoulder, as I raced to Brooklyn's room.
I could here Kodi and mom shouting at me to slow down as I ran. Once I got to her room I used my powers to give me enough strength to open the door. I did. As soon as I entered the room I started swaying. So much power, to much to be Brooklyn's. The last thing I remember is is Kodi and mom talking worriedly above me. I had fainted.

I was about to open my door so I could answer Aphrodite's call when suddenly I was in a tunnel. A very dark tunnel. As I walked forward I had a strange feeling. Then I felt like someone fainted. Aphrodite! Of course. Aphrodite told me that I'd always know when something happened to her.
When I was in sight of the end of the tunnel I saw a throne. "Finally your here, Brooklyn," said a voice. Suddenly the throne turned toward me and there sitting on it was Aphrodite's.........mom. She was wearing a cloak, a black cloak. "I've been waiting a long time for you to be strong enough to come. Now, you probably know me as Aphrodite's mom or Mrs. Money. Well, your wrong. You are to call me by one name, and one name only, The Ultimate."
I froze. No, no, no. It's not possible. But, just in case, I turned and ran. If I hadn't seen the wolves coming just in time I would've been a chew toy. I ran back. "W-What do you want with me?" I asked shakily. "I want you to do me a favor, find out what Aphrodite was going to tell you then come tell me what you found out," she said with a smile.
"No way," I said. "Then I guess I'll leave what happens to you up to the wolves." "OK, I'll do it." Suddenly I felt this feeling, it was the opposite of what I felt when I went on the good side. The Ultimate was turning me bad! "Don't fight it child. After I get my information you will return to normal."
After the pain had gone away I actually started to smile, and nothing good was in this smile. "I'll go start my mission right away."

When woke I had the feeling that something bad, VERY bad, was happening to Brooklyn. Then the door opened and Kodi walked in with Brooklyn. "Brooklyn said she needed some time to think so she went for a walk." "Brooklyn can I talk to you, alone?" "Sure, Aphrodite."
Once Kodi was gone I said, "The thing that Kodi and I are keeping a secret, I'm going to tell you, but you have to promise not to tell." "I promise," she said. "Have you heard of The Fire of life?" "No." "The Fire of life is said to have been restored into the youngest person in the world once the former one dies, but if The Ultimate kills the person then the can do whatever they want with it. The Ultimate would destroy it, because, if The Fire of life is still in the world then The Ultimate has no chance of controlling the world." "Are you saying you know who The Fire of life is in? If so, can you tell me?" "The Fire of life is inside of me," I said.
"That's news," Brooklyn said. As Brooklyn left she began to struggle to move forward. "Are you OK?" I asked. Brooklyn jerked around as if set free of something that captured her. "Aphrodite help!" she said through clenched teeth. "The Ultimate, she made me bad. Get it out of me!"
I was about to when I smelt the most horrible thing I've ever smelt before in my life. I plugged my nose. "Brooklyn, you are aware that I can't help you when you smell like a werewolf!" "I forgot to say she also turned me into one." "That's it! I need to make you mad, if she turned you into a werewolf then if I make you mad enough your anger should make you go wold, which will make the evil exit your body."
"Hurry! I can't fight it forever!" I started chanting a spell. "Slagbane holitine aoi aoi aoi," I said then kept repeating it. "I HATE it when you chant spells! I never know what your saying!" While she said that I heard a growl, I continued doing it. "Slagbane holitine aoi aoi aoi." Repeat. After one more second she was a wolf.
I stopped chanting. I used my powers to capture the evil and put it with all of the others that I had. Once Brooklyn was human I said, "Welcome back. You remember everything I told you right?" "Of course I do."

Outside the bedroom

"So, Aphrodite's The Fire of life. That was very unexpected," said the Ultimate as she turned back to mom and went to her bedroom.
